I'm never going to get pregnant again if my daughter spends all night nursing am I. :( we bedshare and I actually love it so much but I really want to get pregnant again and haven't gotten my period back.

You can still get pregnant while you're breastfeeding-- you can ovulate without getting a period. It all depends on your body. Some women don't get their periods back until they wean entirely--- my period started at 4 months PP even though I EBF my little guy. Everyone is different! Whether you nurse through the night or not won't make a huge difference in the end :)

Same here! My LO is a horrible sleeper and is up every 1-2 hours so bed sharing is the only way we sleep and it makes nursing so much easier however I end up feeding him frequently since he likes to nurse himself to sleep! I can't wait to get pregnant again but I don't feel like I'm ever getting my period back!

I wouldn't sleep if we didn't cosleep. I put her to bed at 7 and stay up and do chores all evening or hang with my husband and she wakes every 45 min (or sooner) till we come to bed with her. She used to do that all night until we brought her in our bed.

I had heard when baby sleeps longer stretches and you go a while without nursing it can jumpstart your period. I am thankful to have my angel and o love her so much so I feel guilty to even have so much baby fever but it is real right now. I'm trying to just enjoy her (which I do!!) but my heart really wants to be pregnant again and have a bunch of kids...

I'm so glad you posted this because I just started ovulating and I was so dreading getting my period back! Hopefully I don't get my period back for awhile lol! I'm nursing my son all day and night so hopefully it stays at bay for awhile

Sooooooo pleased to read this! I thought I was the only one whose 7.5 month old fed all night, we cosleep but I've been trying so hard to get him in his own cot but fail every night cos im so tired after the tenth time of getting up!! My LO is fully on the move (nearly walking!) so cosleeping is tricky now cos he moves all over the bed, but I'm having a nightmare trying to keep him in cot cos he wakes so often for boobie feeds
